  • To guarantee a spot on the NHL-size, covered ice rink, book your 90-minute slot ahead.
  • Plan to arrive 30 minutes early to rent skates or enjoy a hot cocoa, glass of wine, or beer.
  • Do that holiday shopping afterward; there are no lockers.
  • Park at the Virginia Avenue Garage at the northeast corner of Gainbridge Fieldhouse. That’s the closest covered parking, connected by a sky bridge.
  • Snap a selfie in the mirrored alcove just inside the entrance.
  • Warm up inside the Sphere and enjoy art and history visuals.
  • At loose ends on Christmas Day or New Year’s Day? Head down; it’s open.
